Stress fractures heal with time and rest. Athletes are advised to rest from any activity that caused the stress fracture for the 6-14 weeks that the fractures take to heal (ask your doctor how long your particular fracture will probably take to heal), or until pain-free for 2-3 weeks.
PROGNOSIS: Prognosis of stress fractures to the heel (calcaneus) is usually excellent. The condition usually takes between 4 and 8 weeks to heal. In the competitive athlete it usually takes 6-8 weeks before activity can begin. Predisposing factors must be identified and treated appropriately. Long-term recurrence is rare.
